No microphones work in Windows 11

On my relatively new Windows 11 laptop, no microphone works (anymore). Apps appearantly don't receive any audio data. Microphones did work fine before, but not anymore. Audio output works fine.

Apps affected:

• Microsoft Teams for Work (no audio is sent in calls)
  
• Windows Sound Recorder (when starting a recording, time is stuck at 0:00, and the app crashes when stopping the recording)
  
• System settings app (microphone test)
  

Microphones affected:

• Bose QC45 Bluetooth headset
  
• Realtek PCI notebook integrated microphone
  
• Generic USB audio adapter (USB <-> audio jack)
  
• Jabra USB microphone
  

The external microphones work fine with a different Windows 10 laptop.

In System settings, permissions to access the microphone are granted to all relevant apps.

In System > Sound > Properties, when clicking "Start Test", the sound volume is always 0%.

All Windows updates are installed.

I think there must be a fundamental problem in Windows' sound system. How can I fix this?

 

Front/Back 3.5mm microphone jack not working

Hi Elijah,

I am , a fellow Microsoft user like you.

I understand that you're experiencing issues with your microphone jack on your new PC.

First, have you tried using a different microphone or headset with your PC to see if the issue persists?

This will help determine whether the problem lies with the headset or the PC's microphone jack.

Additionally, could you please provide some details about the tutorials you followed?

Knowing the steps you've already taken can help me avoid suggesting solutions you've already tried.

In the meantime, here are a few general steps you can attempt:

1. Ensure that the microphone is properly connected to the PC's microphone jack. Double-check that all the connections are secure.

2. Update your audio drivers. Visit the manufacturer's website of your PC or the sound card manufacturer's website to download and install the latest drivers for your audio device.

3. Test your microphone on another device if possible. This will help verify if the issue is specific to your PC or the microphone itself.

Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns. Let's work together to resolve the issue.

Best regards,
